ITEM CONDITION
We try to buy merchandise in the best available condition or to restore it to perfection, but occasionally we buy items that have flaws that we do not restore. These items are always noted as such and are priced accordingly. Please do not ask for additional discounts for the flaws, as we have already discounted the item. Typically, age and patina on a vintage item are expected and desired. Remember, you are buying an item that is most likely 40 to 100 years old or more.
We want you to be confident in your decision. We also want your repeat business. We are happy to supply additional pictures and information on items that you are interested in. We do our best to accurately describe the size and condition of each item. We note overall condition in general terms and we are happy to supply photos in a larger format for your inspection.
Please remember that most of these items are antique or vintage, circa 1920 to 1980.
Do not expect to receive a new item, if is it described as not new. This means in most cases, items have expected, age-appropriate signs. Condition is noted for each item and priced accordingly. We do our best to purchase merchandise in excellent condition, however, these items are vintage or antique and will show their age. If we have had an item restored or repaired, or know of any prior restoration work done, we will note it in the description.
In the antique and auction world, it is acceptable to have up to 30% of a piece repaired before affecting its value. All repairs will be clearly mentioned in the description.
As an example we use the following terms to describe item condition, please refer to this chart:
Excellent - absolutely no scratches or wear. It has no structural issues and is in perfect condition. Original condition unaltered.
Very Good - very light scratches or minor wear to some areas of the piece. Most antique and vintage items fit this condition. No structural issues.
Good - shows light scratches and wear overall from normal use, but remains in good condition.
Fair - scratches and wear overall from use, but remains in fair condition. May have some structural issues including minor instability.
Distressed - worn, scratched, and roughed up, even if intentional. Could have gouges, cracks, and fissures. Other issues could include significant losses, fading, or structural instability.

Antiques by definition are old, collectible, valuable, and desirable because of their age, beauty, rarity, or other unique feature. The buyer must understand that certain antiques by the very nature bear wear, blemishes, or defects which are inherent but shall not be considered as defective goods.
